Skyharbour dives into Preston Lake’s summer drill campaign

Skyharbour Resources’ (TSX-V:SYH) joint venture partner Orano Canada is planning a 2026 exploration and drilling program at the Preston Lake Uranium Project in Canada.

The planned program will include a helicopter-borne airborne gravity gradiometry survey covering a high-priority corridor in the northern portion of the property, followed by a summer diamond drilling campaign totalling up to 3,500m.

The program is designed to build on the results from the past several years and advance numerous high-priority target areas across the property.

Skyharbour says the program is expected to advance the geological understanding of the Preston Lake Project and generate new high-quality drill targets for future exploration.

Orano Canada anticipates that six to eight drill holes will focus on targeting within the northern FSAN area, testing four to six targets.

These targets are characterised by segmented conductive signals coincident with localized magnetic and gravity lows along known trends of interest, including the FSA conductive corridor, which has returned the most anomalous uranium values intersected in drilling on Preston Lake to date.

An additional two to four holes are planned for the Area B conductive corridor, the final remaining large-scale conductive trend on the property that has yet to be drill tested.

Skyharbour holds an extensive portfolio of uranium exploration projects in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.
